It's so amazing how a car this old can look like gold even today. With the right care and taste, these Mustang's have the perfect flare of mean, and beautiful at the same time. Love the S197.

Apparently 480 WHP isn't much these days.... Just shows how spoiled auto journalists are

Matt. I Started watching your videos one helluva long time ago. The renntech E class you drove was my inspiration for an all NA E550 build that I have been rocking for the past few years. Needless to say, it got boring. 4matic AWD is no fun so I actually sold the car and all the hours of tuning and tweaking went with it to a young gentleman who absolutely loved that straight piped monster. I got more than I paid for the car which never happens. Watching the one take videos I stumbled on this one, did a marketplace search and now am the proud owner of a Roush 427r with about 10 grand worth of VMP performance power adders already installed on the car. I know you love your Fox body mustangs, but seriously.... you need to get doing more and more of these videos if you can. Even the old ones can be inspiration for someones next build. Always loved these one takes always will.

this car needs a shorty antenna. ..call me crazy but watching that antenna bounce around with the wind is driving me nuts

Very tastefully customized. Respect

Why this mustang looks better than the new ones!

Beautifully modified Mustang GT and a really cool owner. Gets my approval!

I really like the way this generation of mustang looks, new one is too fusion-esque, I love the retro look. Also this mustang is built amazingly!

My Mustang is best Mustang

Factory Mustang GT's in this year range, came with 3.31 (not 3.23) with the V6 and the GT auto. The GT stick version had 3.55 from the factory. Just for clarification.

Every time he lets off the gas, it sounds like a steam iron lol. Very clean Mustang though.

"didn't want to go into second there" translates into "I misses my shift" lol

That 3 valve motor is a still a good motor and can make a lot of power. If i were this guy though i'd come down to a 3:73 gear. That's really the best of both worlds. Makes it very drivable but you also can shit and git' pretty good too.

One of the nicest 05-09s ive seen damn

480HP is perfect for me. I don't own a car with that much HP, but have drove one with similar HP (bolt on 5G Camaro SS) it's sketchy but controllable. Very beautiful and tastefully modded S197.

this design is the best....the new mustang looks like a girl car...

That noise of the splitter on the ground was hurtful.

I have GT 2005 with Comp cams a pro charger 28 up grades in all 5 speed 355 rears I love it it's putting 500 to the wheel and 489 TQ great video and car James

The air rushing sound I think would get kinda old ...fast

Great job with this car. I hope you keep it forever! IMO. After the 67’ style this is the best looking mustang (05-09). Obviously hats off to the Fox Bodies as well). But agree after 2015 they seemed to run out of ideas to make it better looking. That’s understandable I guess.

Mine is a 2005 V8 mustang , upgraded to around just over 400 hp from stock 300 , I really notice the difference in power and speed

Dude that's my boy James!!!!! That's one beastly car!!!

Somebody’s endorsing the newer models.... I love my 06, call me crazy...

Somebody driving my car like that would make me unbelievably nervous tbh

He told you to be careful, as in wait hold on I don't think... then you were just like fuck it.. ~scrapes front lip~ I wouldn't have been pissed but I would've been like "come on man, do you give a shit about the words coming out of my mouth?"

Love the look of that mustang.

Ive never heard that much supercharger noise in my entire life

Won't lie, if I owned that stang, I'd call it vader. breathes heavy.

I got my 06 in 2011 also. Love it!

Great Mustang there! James seemed very cool too! :)

This is just too much, I've been giggling like a bloody school girl every time Matt lets off the gas. I want this Supercharger!

best sounding car on the Internet by far kewl car and owner .more of this car plz

Oh my gosh this is the best sounding Mustang I've ever heard 😍 I would definitely pay to ride in it!

what an amazing car. I'm working on my 2012 mustang, it has an great aftermarket exhaust system and a air intake for now

Great car. For comparisons sake, a Boss 302 Roadrunner motor with just Cobra Jet intake, throttle body and CAI with stock cams will generally make 490whp/396wtrq and redline at 8k RPM. Crazy how far we have come! Cheers

That BOV would annoy the shit out of me. Other than that it's a cool car for a Mustang :)

Had a stock 06 GT! Very nice. They have balls for only 300 hp and 320 ft lbs of tqe!!!

Bruuuuuuum Woooooooosh

The in car camera is so smooth and crisp ^_^

Not a mustang fan, But LOVE THIS ONE. Very nice and practical build. The sound is so nice and different.

Gold content this just appeared in my recommendation

I second the duck call, that's pretty dang funny. That or a whoopee cushion...

now this is a one take... pure power and I'm not bias because I hate mustangs at the end of the day. Much respect this thing is just perfect

Is that fucking Bogs Diamond??? (Shawshank Redemption)

PROJECT FOX - killin' me smalls! we've all been waiting buddy

My 2v 00' GT mustang has the same kinda setup with the same kinda blow off. I love it personally. If you drive normally (under 2.5k RPM) its not that bad. The reason it seems loud in the video is because hes holding the RPMS. I personally love holding the rpms up to about 4k with the blowing off and then stepping on it, beacause it sounds like a monster sucking in a great gulp of air and then when it stops, you get propelled forwards like a cannonball. So much drama its amazing!

Finally another Mustang, now do an 03-04 Cobra already!

Super clean! Needs a shorty antenna.

06 WAS MY FAVORITE STYLE.

Hi Matt. I love your videos and have watched every one over the last few years. I just want to say thank you for showing the engine bay on this monster. Looking at engine bays is half the fun for me :) Thank you! Can't wait for another update on your fox! Cheers from Australia. Michael

Definitely a great idea going with more aggressive 4.10 gearing when using a centrifugal supercharger, as they don't make their full power until you're in the higher rpm's. Those gears help to make up some of that low rpm power the s/c isn't really generating yet. On the Mustang Forums, I've consistently heard that the "safe" power limit of the stock 3v 4.6 is roughly 450 HP @ the wheels, (give or take). There are plenty of stock 3v's putting down over 500 RWHP, but you're more at risk of blowing something with the stock bottom end. 480 RWHP should be fine. Nice numbers by the way! That's about 100 HP @ the wheels (on average), more than the 4v Mustang 5.0's are putting down bone stock. I'd love to see this GT run the 1/4 mile :)

I have a similar set up, but a procharger instead of Paxton. It makes a pulsing blow off noise instead of just a whoosh, if that makes any sense. I thoroughly enjoy it.

Holy crap that sounds awesome, I need a centrifugal blower and blow off valve setup in my life.

such a great show, thank you Matt & crew

My god the noises are amazing. I'm really not a muscle car dude, but you cannot argue with the power per $ factor of most of the 'Murican V8's. Maybe I'll take the dip on the next one! I need some of that V8 noise in my life.... Great review as usual Matt!

I like it, very clean looking.

Looks like a fun car to drive, 480 at the wheels is definitely a good deal.

The blow off noise is hilarious FYI the 5.0 Coyote motor is not direct injection. .

wish i could like this twice , one for the wicked car and once for the awesome sound it makes , well done cool machine!!

Not a huge mustang fan, but I really like this build. Really nice car!

Sounds like a sinphony! I really love muscle car sounds...

You know James is like, "whhhaaat? nOt PrAcTiCaL??? What you mean bro?!?"

Sounds great! with 295/305 section tires do these handle well? i'm aware they will never be an Elise but can the live rear end handle much lateral grip?

Matt, great video. Fun car. I love your appreciation for things that are different. Let's see an S2K. Big following. Would pull a lot of views.

Did Matt drive Matt Farah's million mile Lexus?

I'm not sure if it's just the camera angle but these 4.10s are perfect for the canyon. This looks faster than the videos of the modern mustangs matt drives. Way faster. Almost supercar fast.

I think this is on Craigslist right now. 4.75 stroker in it for 19.9. Not a bad deal imo

*Dude is Smiling like* *"Don't fuck up my Shit"*

480 RWHP And he said that matches a coyote ? WTF? A Stock coyote is making 480 RWHP??? Even a full bolt on 5.0 wound't smoke a 4.6 supercharged.Add cams to that 4.6 and further proves the point,Dont forget you can buy a 4.6 for 10,000-12,000 while a 5.0 still ranges from high 18,000 to low 20,000

If he put in a T56 Magnum with Cobra gears that Mustang would be a monster

480 whp is a lot in 2020, most people watching these videos will NEVER experience this kind of power. This car is good for 550 hp at the crank how many cars in 2020 have this from the factory while weighing under 3800 lbs? Not many.

This era of mustangs can handle 500 hp to 600 hp easy with suspension upgrades. Suspension upgrades easily solve the problem of the chassis being overpowered.

I need to supercharge my 06 gt after watching this! !

Sounds absolutely sick, but too obnoxiously loud for a daily; would make a mad track/weekend car though.

cool car. sounds great. awesome year.

wow I am a chevy guy but this is DOPE love it and the dude is cool

My last Mustang GT was a black 2006 GT with a Vortech SC, stock 3:55's, everything including the base blower the car on street tires went 12.1@115 back in 2007, I miss that car big time. 4.10 gears with a blower, doesn't make sense, he'd actually go faster with 3:55 or 3:31's.

That bov is so obnoxious... there is no way i would put up with that constant noise... That's why you exhaust drive a turbo.. not belt drive it.. Really ruins the car...

I like them better than 200 mustang 2005 -2009 mustang are the best 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🚘👑👑🏆🏆🏆❤🔥

Smiles per gallen.

Looks and sounds mean.

this car is sick! That blow off valve! The gearing is a bit too short for my taste though.

I currently own the vehicle. Truly amazing 🙏🏻 love it

You broke the rules when passing. Good !

2800 @ 65? Wtf. I had 4.10s in my 08 and at 70 i was at like 2300 or so with a calibrated speedo. Same with my mach 1 that i had since the t-3650 uses the same overdrive ratio after 2001.

no thanks. awesome videos. haven't seen the rest of the old team in years it feels like

That fucking blow off oh my god

If theres one thing I like about manual big engine cars , its the long first/second gear . Makes it so much more comfortable to drive and launch the car (especially if you wish to overtake someone from a standstill). And of course the nice quiet cruising with only the engine burbling and massaging your eardrums and a+s with its vibes. I just dont see these mods. Unless you have a race car, I think its one of the worst things you can do for comfort and driveability to reduce gear ratios, especially in a car like this...

The 2005 through 2012 Mustang's came with a 3.27 gear ratio a 3.31 gear ratio or the premium package 3.37 gear ratio so you'll know and most change the gear ratios to either a 3.90 or 4.10 gears for drag racing. The only ones running 4.30's & 4.56's are running drag slicks...

That blowoff noise is so annoying.

I want to hear the woosh from the outside when it goes by

that blow off noise tho

Sounds gnarly.

That blower is not a bad idea for cheap power, but seems like it should be on a clutch or something.

Nice stang, black on black like mine, but I still prefer my 5.0 over that annoying blow off.

Damn those are nice big time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🏆👍🏾🏎🏎🏎🏎🏆🏆🏆👑🏎🏎🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🏎👍🏾🏎👍🏾🏎👍🏾🏎👍🏾🏎🏎🔥❤❤

Awesome job with these one takes keep it up! There really aren't any other, channels doing content like this, the passion that every guest has for their really is apparent. Also I feel like an idiot, but, does anyone know what the heck the email address is for the podcast?

The stance in the thumbnail... Damnnnnn sonnnnnnn

Loved this review! Definitely a unique 'Stang. Would certainly be entertaining to see Thatdudeinblue's Mustang get reviewed, but then again I suppose it's simply just not "different" enough anyways

410S IN that is crazy good.
